Yaz and hundreds of kids were on the Fenway Park field Tuesday for an annual event put on by The Genesis Fund. Founded in 1982 by Dr. Murray Feingold, The Genesis Fund has raised over $26 million to help New England area children born with birth defects, genetic diseases and intellectual disabilities.

The day at Fenway gives the children a chance to run the bases, field a ball off the Green Monster, and take a swing for the fences.
